Companies of every size frequently need access to capital. This presentation will give you an overview of how securities rules apply to businesses looking to raise capital in a variety of ways, including raising money through start-up crowdfunding.

The British Columbia Securities Commission (BCSC) is the independent government agency responsible for regulating capital markets in B.C. Through smart rules, diligent oversight, strong enforcement, and reliable guidance, the BCSC acts as guardians of the province’s investment marketplace. The BCSC also educates businesses to understand how to raise money in a timely and efficient way, and to avoid unintended compliance problems.
